Anyone else having Paypal debit card "processing errors"

[Andrew Shaw]

Is anyone else having paypal debit card issues?

The other day my paypal account went into the negitive, as I normally dont keep much in there. I found it strange that this happend, as I am usually really good at remembering to jot down any purchases; so my account doesnt go under.

I have my paypal account set up to where I can text my account, and have the account balance texted back to me. And when I received the text it was something along the lines of -$20.04.

It wasnt but a few days later I got an email from paypal saying that due to a processing error, I was debited twice for a purchase I made on gas.

I've now received 4 emails of the same nature, with 4 separate instances where there was a "processing error."

I'm not having any complaints, as I said I normally dont have too many funds tied up in paypal. But the little funds that are kept in my account are being held because of these processing errors.

I am just curious if anyone else has, or is experiencing the same thing.




First I receive this one... The first time I didnt know what the payment processed by paypal pertained to, as they dont explain much within the payment details:

Then this one 5 days later explaining why funds are being pulled, and put into my account:
